Psalms 33
1 Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely.
Midzi ha kple dzidzɔ na Yehowa, mi ame dzɔdzɔewo; edze mi ame siwo ƒe dzi to mɔ ɖeka la be woakafui.
2 Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,
Mikafu Yehowa kple kasaŋkuwo, eye miƒo ha nɛ le ka ewo ƒe kasaŋku dzi.
3 Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.
Midzi ha yeye nɛ; miƒo ha nɛ kple ŋusẽ, eye míado dzidzɔɣli.
4 For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
Elabena Yehowa ƒe nya nye nyateƒe, eye wòto mɔ ɖeka; etoa nyateƒe le nu siwo katã wòwɔna la me.
5 Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full.
Yehowa lɔ̃a dzɔdzɔenyenye kple nuteƒewɔwɔ; anyigba yɔ fũu kple eƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o.
6 By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
Yehowa ƒe nya wotsɔ wɔ dziƒowoe, eye eƒe numegbɔgbɔ wotsɔ wɔ wo ŋuti nuwoe.
7 Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.
Eƒo atsiaƒumetsiwo nu ƒu ɖe kpluwo me, eye wòdzra tɔ goglowo ɖo ɖe nudzraɖoƒewo.
8 Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.
Anyigba katã nevɔ̃ Yehowa, eye xexemetɔwo katã nede bubu eŋu.
9 For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.
Elabena eƒo nu, eye wòva dzɔ; eɖe gbe, eye wòli ke goŋgoŋgoŋ.
10 Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.
Yehowa gblẽ dukɔwo ƒe adaŋudedewo me, eye wòtɔtɔ anyigbadzitɔwo ƒe ɖoɖowo.
11 The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations.
Ke Yehowa ya ƒe ɖoɖowo nɔa anyi maʋamaʋãe ɖikaa, eye eƒe dzimesusuwo li tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
12 O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.
Woayra dukɔ si ƒe Mawue nye Yehowa, ame siwo wòtia be woanyi yeƒe dome.
13 From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men.
Yehowa bi kɔ tso dziƒo ke, eye wòkpɔ amegbetɔviwo katã.
14 From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;
Ele eƒe nɔƒe ke hekpɔ ame siwo katã le anyigba dzi,
15 Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.
eya ame si wɔ ame sia ame ƒe dzi, eye wòléa ŋku ɖe nu sia nu si wowɔna la ŋu.
16 The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
Aʋakɔ gbogbo si le fia aɖe si la mate ŋu aɖee o, eye ŋusẽ triakɔ hã meɖea kalẽtɔ o.
17 A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.
Ne eɖo ɖeɖe dzi la, sɔ maɖe ame si tsɔ eƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe edzi o, togbɔ be ŋusẽ triakɔ le esi hã la, mate ŋu aɖee o.
18 Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
Ke Yehowa ƒe ŋku le ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ la ŋu, ame siwo tsɔa woƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ dana ɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la dzi,
19 To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.
be wòaɖe wo tso ku ƒe asi me, eye wòana woatsi agbe le dɔŋɔli.
20 Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He,
Míele lalam le mɔ kpɔm na Yehowa, eyae nye míaƒe xɔname kple akpoxɔnu.
21 For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.
Míaƒe dziwo le dzidzɔ kpɔm le eya amea me, elabena mieka ɖe eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la dzi.
22 Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!
O! Yehowa, na wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la, nanɔ mía dzi abe ale si míetsɔ míaƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe dziwò ene.
